A Week of Mondays - Jessica Brody
Book Synopsis: When I made the wish, I just wanted a do-over. Another chance to make things right. I never, in a million years, thought it might actually come true...
Sixteen-year-old Ellison Sparks is having a serious case of the Mondays. She gets a ticket for running a red light, she manages to take the world’s worst school picture, she bombs softball try-outs and her class election speech (note to self: never trust a cheerleader when she swears there are no nuts in her bake-sale banana bread), and to top it all off, Tristan, her gorgeous rocker boyfriend suddenly dumps her. For no good reason!
As far as Mondays go, it doesn’t get much worse than this. And Ellie is positive that if she could just do it all over again, she would get it right. So when she wakes up the next morning to find she’s reliving the exact same day, she knows what she has to do: stop her boyfriend from breaking up with her. But it seems no matter how many do-overs she gets or how hard Ellie tries to repair her relationship, Tristan always seems bent set on ending it. Will Ellie ever figure out how to fix this broken day? Or will she be stuck in this nightmare of a Monday forever?
From the author 52 Reasons to Hate My Father and The Unremembered trilogy comes a hilarious and heartwarming story about second (and third and fourth and fifth) chances. Because sometimes it takes a whole week of Mondays to figure out what you really want.
This book was just what the doctor ordered to cure my Monday blues.
After reading My Life Undecided, I had high hopes for this book and it delivered.
Imagine having the chance to do a major do-over. How amazing would that be? Well, for Ellie Sparks, her wish came true, 7 times to be exact!
I laughed a lot when I read this, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone and everyone who is stuck in a reading slump.
Yes, it did have a bit of a predictability issue, but I was happy regardless.
Not to spoil, but Tristan? What a joke. He made me want to puke.
Ellie is probably one of my favorite characters in a YA book, especially this year.
I love Jessica Brody books and this book completely is one of my new favorites of hers. Here's to her career of writing and hoping that she churns out more books like these.
Definitely will be reading more from her in the future.
